The website, thongtinlietsi.gov.vn has been designed by the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) and Vietnam Post.
Relatives and comrades can supply additional information about fallen soldiers which will be added to the site.
The portal would help people to find their relatives more quickly, said Dao Ngoc Dung, MOLISA Minister.
The website provides a list of martyrs’ cemeteries nationwide, maps, an overview image of the cemeteries, and details of the graves.
Minister Dung said the portal is only the first step. Local MOLISA agencies need to cooperate with Vietnam Post to review the information, note any data changes and update images. Authorities also needed to continue examining DNA to establish identities.
Vietnam Post said that 836,700 martyrs’ graves over three thousand cemeteries had been documented, with almost 2.6 million images.
According to the ministry, there are still over 200,000 unidentified bodies and over 300,000 bodies with insufficient information relating to them.-VNS/VNA
